Ingredients
    Soup Ingredients
  • 1 cup Chopped Carrots
  • 1 cup Chopped Celery
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 4 tbs Flour
  • 1 can Evaporated Milk (12oz)
  • 1 quart Chicken Broth
  • 3-4 cups Cooked Shredded Chicken
  • 1 tbsp Dried Thyme
  • 1 tbs Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
    • Dumplings
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1.5 tbs Baking Powder
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 4 tbs Melted Butter
  • 1 tbsp Dried Thyme
Instructions
  1. 1
    Make the Soups BaseIn a large pot, heat a oil over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, and garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes until the veggies are soft. Sprinkle in the 4 tablespoons of flour and stir to coat the veggies. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in the evaporated milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Add the shredded chicken, dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring it all to a simmer and let the flavors come together.

    Make the Dumpling Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, baking powder, and dried thyme. Stir in the milk and melted butter until a sticky dough forms.

  3. 3
    Add Dumplings to the Soup

    Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer gently. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter onto the soup, leaving a little space between each one. Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through. Don’t lift the lid while they cook!

    Transfer to serving bowls and serve warm.
